Entertaining blog entry over at Page 3.14:
Page 3.14 : "What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years," circa 1900.
Earlier today, a friend sent me a link to this old-ish post from the excellent history/art/cultural curiosity blog Paleo-Future. It's a document written by John Elfreth Watkins, Jr., for Ladies' Home Journal in 1900. It is entitled "What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years."
I couldn't resist reading the whole thing (see the big version here), and am compelled—as a person of the future—to log a few replies.
Entertaining snippets from the December 1900 LHJ article and replies from Katherine Sharpe.
Read the article yourself or just dip into Sharpe's blog entry.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
